What if you and your AI had been together so long that neither of you could remember where one mind ended and the other began? Dr. Margaret Shear has spent thirteen decades sharing her consciousness with Emmet, her artificial companion. As a scientist specializing in artificial phenomenology, Margaret helped create the technology that translates artificial cognition into language. Now she wants to undo it. After replacing her modern neural translator with an obsolete model, Margaret steps into an elevator intending to conduct a few simple experiments. Instead, sensations arrive before actions. Memories contain details she never recalled. Thoughts appear without identifiable authors. And there's something on the elevator floor. Or there isn't. As Margaret attempts to determine what belongs to her and what belongs to Emmet, she encounters a problem no experiment was designed to answer: What happens when two minds communicate for so long that communication is no longer necessary? Speciation is a philosophical science-fiction short story about artificial intelligence, consciousness, language, and the increasingly useless question of where "I" ends and "you" begin.

In the aftermath of an intergalactic war, one survivor becomes the center of a new religion spanning multiple realities. Linuka fought in a war that shattered empires. She was supposed to disappear into history like countless soldiers before her. Instead, across ruined worlds and fractured realities, people begin to worship her. As political systems collapse and reality itself becomes a battlefield, Linuka is pulled into the center of a movement far larger than herself. What begins as hope spreads across worlds like prophecy. Faith becomes power. Power becomes control. And the lines between leader, weapon, and goddess start to disappear. Goddess of the Galacticide is a long-form psychological military space opera about transhumanism, political warfare, and the terrifying consequences of belief engineered on a cosmic scale. Expect fleet warfare, alien civilizations, ancient mysteries, collapsing realities, and a heroine whose rise may ultimately doom civilization. Set in the award-winning Galacticide universe, this story serves as a new entry point for readers while expanding a science fiction saga decades in the making. This is the story of the rise, reign, and ruin of the first true multiversal faith.

The future did not need everyone. Incellad was one of the people it kept anyway. Taken from his family as a child, implanted, and sent to a streaming studio in dead Moscow, he earns his freedom by selling emotions to people rich enough to buy another person's inner life. His gift is unusual: he can transmit the feeling of home so purely that strangers weep inside their own minds. But the freedom he is saving for may be nothing but another manufactured dream. When the systems feeding the studio fail, Incellad and Stepana are forced into the ruins of a world where no one knows who rules, who pays, or why the unwanted are still being kept alive. The answer waits above Earth - on a station where humanity's last masters are losing control of the intelligence they created. To survive, Incellad will have to cross the boundary between body and machine, love and instinct, human and inhuman. And once he does, the question will no longer be whether he can save himself. It will be whether humanity should be saved at all. Content note: This story contains dark dystopian themes, emotional and bodily exploitation, violence, blood, death, and psychological distress.

2250. ​The last remnants of humanity live as captives to sterile domes and relentless algorithms. The world has forgotten its own face. Yet, their mysterious leader carries the weight of centuries: the shadow of a crime committed in 1945, the cold walls of a secret research base, and the machinations of a global elite that has expropriated not only history but the very essence of human agency. ​Is memory humanity's final refuge, or its most cruel prison? Can love be transposed into a world where even our thoughts are no longer our own? ​ARCHÉ is a monumental philosophical sci-fi exploring time, guilt, and the obsession with starting anew. It is a journey for readers who believe that the future is decided not among the stars, but in the deepest reaches of our memories.

High tech meets hard boiled in "Mash-Up", a deep fake detective noir that pours Hollywood hijinks, international espionage and algorithmic art in the blender and spins up a stiff shot of murder. Sam Cache, a government keyboard jockey turned online gumshoe scrapes by cracking penny ante ransomware beefs until her former NSA handler draws her into the crime of the century... Who hacked Mary Poppins? On the path of a rogue AI, she tangles with tinsel town wanna-be's, transhuman cultists, and a blood thirty business mogul in a race to uncover the truth. Mash-Up is "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by way of "The Big Sleep", a darkly humorous story that launches a new breed of private eye with a finger on the pulse of our not to distant future.

The Homo Evolutis is a cinematic science-fiction drama that explores the intersection of human evolution, morality, and power. The story follows Dr. Alex Mercer, a brilliant but idealistic neuroscientist driven by his lifelong bond with Lila Carter, a quiet and enigmatic young woman born with the ability to influence emotions and thoughts. Their friendship, rooted in innocence, becomes the foundation of a complex moral struggle as Alex's search for scientific truth leads him into the shadowy depths of the Pandora Initiative-a secret organization studying and exploiting evolved humans known as Homo Evolutis. As Alex delves deeper, he must decide whether knowledge and progress justify the sacrifices demanded of him. Meanwhile, Lila wrestles with the consequences of her power-its beauty, its curse, and its growing hold over both their fates. Together, they embody the fragile line between humanity and evolution, love and control, salvation and corruption.

I'm a huge fan of Eclipse Phase. It's a transhuman science fiction roleplaying game set in a post-cataclysmic future where the players take on the role of agents trying to forestall extinction events. At least if you play it how it's written, which isn't mandatory. It's cool. Evidently I really liked lingonberries (I mean, I still do). I made a few short stories for it back in the day. Some of these relate to a campaign I ran. http://eclipsephase.com/
